Done that route many times and one year before retirement when we had a schedule to follow had the same weather problems. We left the night before. We only got to central OH area before stopping for the night, snow poor driving conditions. Spent night in Walmart parking lot, just checked with manager first. When the weather cleared the next morning continued on I-75 was wet and dirty but not icy. Still able to may our plans at Disney Fort Wilderness.
We usually stop at a Walmart or other (Cracker Barrel/truck stop etc) for the first night. Never felt unsafe. Just ask the manager first. The Walmart we have used several time in Berea KY are now not.permitting overnight stays. It is a municipal regulation, manager said its OK by us but to expect the town to ticket/tow you. When we left, we noticed every parking area in vicinity of the interchange had new NO Overnight Parking signs in place.
Enjoy your trip, make sure that your propane is full before leaving and keep the gas tank topped. Also make sure your CO and smoke detectors are in good working condition (batteries). Personally we won't use the generator while sleeping, still afraid of CO coming back into MH.
